[Refdb-users] NewBQ: Problems connecting refdb to postgresql server on Debian Woody

[Fredrik K. <fre...@li...>]

Hi all,

I'm new to refdb and trying ot set it up against a PosgreSQL server, but
I cannot get it to connect. The error I get when trying to connect using
a username and passwd (to refdba) that gives me access to the refdb1
database using the psql client, I get the dump below from the server.
The user supplied to the refdba is has full access to the database, but
cannot create new databases or users.

The refdb-deamon was started by the root user, not the 'postgres' user.

Does anyone have an idea as to where the problem may be?
